We'd need a little more information about your setup and testing results in order to provide some form of response:
Q) What OS are you running? (uname -a) Q) What system do you have (Laptop/Desktop Make & Model) Q) What network cards do you have in the system (ifconfig -a) Q) What wifi router/modem do you have? When you say "Wifi is slow" please define what you mean by slow? What tests are you doing to quantify the 'slowness'? As you probably know, wifi depends on the environment and distance from the router/wifi hot spot. Any obstacles will reduce the signal strength thus giving you degraded performance. "[pfexec] dladm show-wifi" will give you the current wifi speed between you and your wifi hotspot. Have you tried doing some speed tests when connected via wifi and when connected via the cable? If so what differences do you see? http://www.speedtest.net/ is just one of many out there. Another test would be to download a large file (DVD ISO for example) either from the internet or from another system on the local network. This will test sustained throughput and give you a good indication of the true speed of your network. Obviously when using a local host you'd expect faster speeds using the LAN connection Vs the Wifi. "ping -s <remote_host>" is always a good test to understand the round trip times of packets. If you choose a host out on the internet and run the ping tests over your wifi and LAN connections what response times do you get? Any dropped packets? What response times do you get when pinging your default gateway? "traceroute <remote_host>" is another good test to show where the delays are. "netstat -in" will show any errors on the interfaces so it's worth keeping you eye on that whilst doing the tests to see if any of the error counts are increasing. If you're not already on the latest OS release I'd recommend upgrading and see if the problem remains. Hope this helps. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
